Country is the most important

The first thing Tan Yu did when he returned to the capital was to report the situation in Pingyang to Gao Xian. It was not until he arrived in the capital that Tan Yu found out that Gao Yan, the king of Pingyang, was Gao Xian's prisoner and had been locked in the imperial prison in the capital for several days.Although the development of the matter made Tan Yu's arrangement on this road a little redundant, but generally speaking, Tan Yu still completed the task Gao Xian gave him very well, and Gao Xian was also very satisfied with Tan Yu in his heart.So after a lot of tossing, Tan Yu couldn't get out of bed for several days, and then he gave up.

Gao Xian then ordered someone to vacate a warm room in the palace and let Tan Yu live in it directly.One afternoon Tan Yu felt better, remembering that he had left the capital for several months and didn't know whether the mansion was safe or not, so he got dressed and got out of bed, intending to go back to Tan Mansion to have a look.Unintentionally passing by a conservatory, he suddenly heard the voice of a man moaning mixed with struggling, Tan Yu stopped in his tracks, but he heard it so familiarly, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Knowing that this is the deep garden of the imperial palace, no one else can enter it. Before seeing it with their own eyes, they already guessed that the other person in the room is the emperor.Tan Yu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and wanted to move away but unconsciously moved closer.

"Tanzhen! Shout out to me!"

Tan Yu suddenly froze.

"Call out! Shout out to me! Shout out to King Pingyang too! Ah? Haha..."

"Um...ah..."

A scream suddenly came from inside the house, which hurt Tan Yu's heart.

"The emperor and the second elder brother actually have such a relationship, so what am I in the eyes of the emperor?" Tan Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, then turned and left.

------

Tan Yu dragged his heavy steps, and when he arrived at Tan Mansion, it was already sunset.

It has been nearly half a month since Tan Fu took the "Bao Xin Dan" delivered by Tan Heng that night. Due to the effect of "Bao Xin Dan" in the past few days, Tan Fu's cough has eased a lot, and it seems that he has a tendency to recover , but with the passage of time, the quasi-cough had a tendency to recur again. These few days were also the time to take the second pill. Tan Fu felt a foreign object in his lungs and couldn't help coughing.

Tan Heng has been missing every day during the day recently, and often returns home in a hurry in the middle of the night.When Tan Fu asked, Tan Heng only said that he was out on errands with his friends. Of course, Tan Fu didn't believe his words, but Heng'er, who was finally lost and recovered, had nothing to ask for, as long as Heng'er stayed in his house safely. By his side, he is already content.It's just that every time Tan Heng came home late, no matter how late, Tan Fu would lie in his room with his eyes open, listening carefully to the movement outside the door, and watching the candles in Heng'er's room opposite him go on and off.Although Tan Fu didn't ask Heng'er any more on the surface, he was always thinking about it in his heart, and he couldn't rest assured after all.

At dusk that day, only Tan Fu was left alone in the Tan Mansion, guarding the round table, eating dinner in a deserted manner, when suddenly a moderate voice came from outside the door: "Brother~"

Tan Fu raised his head and looked out the door, Tan Yu smiled at him in a perfect arc under the setting sun.

Tan Fu looked at Tan Yu against the backdrop of the setting sun, scenes of the past rolled in his heart, and then a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

"Brother, I'm back."

Tan Fu came back to his senses and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Tan Yu looked at Tan Fu, who was yellow and thin in front of him, and couldn't help asking anxiously: "It's been a while since I last saw you, why is elder brother so haggard? Is everything cured?"

Tan Fu was originally holding back, but when Tan Yu asked him this question, he suddenly couldn't help coughing softly.Tan Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support Tan Fu, but Tan Fu slightly avoided it, and said flatly, "It's much better."

Tan Yu saw that his elder brother was suddenly so indifferent, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart, so he stood aside and remained motionless.

The two remained in a stalemate for a while.Tan Fu first asked, "Wouldn't you blame the emperor for coming back like this?"

"What the emperor told you has been done."

Tanfu let out an 'oh', and then coughed slightly twice. "What are you doing at the door? Have you eaten yet? Zhou Fu! Bring the tableware!"

As soon as Tan Fu finished speaking, Tan Yu quickly stepped forward and held Tan Fu's hand, looked anxiously into Tan Fu's eyes and said, "Brother, let Yu'er take the pulse for you first."

Tan Fu froze for a moment, and looked at Tan Yu, with an unconcealable sadness in his eyes.Tan Yu helped Tan Fu to sit aside, stretched out his hand to hold Tan Fu's pulse.

Tan Fu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not a big problem, as long as it is recuperated and recuperated." There was no emotion on his face.

Tan Yu kept frowning deeply, and slowly the hand holding Tan Fu's pulse seemed to lose strength, and it was directly on Tan Fu's wrist. Tan Fu raised his eyes suspiciously, but saw Tan Yu red eyes looking directly at him.

"I hurt you~" Tan Yu's voice was choked with sobs:

Tan Fu put away his hands, got up and patted Tan Yu's back, "It's none of your business. I made it up on my own. But don't worry too much, it's been much better these days." Seeing Tan Yu still sitting still He moved, and then said: "You have been exhausted all the way back from Pingyang, so come and have some food."

Tan Yu stared blankly at Tan Fu, the eldest brother's flat tone made Tan Yu feel very uncomfortable, as if the elder brother who put him on top of everything in the past disappeared.The eldest brother seemed to build a wall between the two of them, so that he couldn't get close.Both of them remained silent about the incident in Pingyang, but Tan Yu felt a sense of loss in his heart because of the alienation in his elder brother's tone.

"I have asked my servants to tidy up your room. You will take a good hot bath later. The journey is exhausting. Go to rest earlier."

Tan Yu nodded and walked towards his own room.

After Tan Yu left, Tan Fu looked at the cold food on the table, and said to Zhou Fu: "Reheat these, then warm them with hot water, and leave them for the fourth young master to eat when he comes back."

"Understood, the slave will go now."

……

Later, after drinking the medicine, Tan Fu also lay back on the bed early, covering his whole body under the quilt.

The north wind blows the window paper, and it always gets dark early in winter, and the servants of the mansion stay in the house early after finishing their work, keeping warm by the charcoal stove, and the outside is quiet.The flickering and flickering candles in the house seemed to be struggling to keep the last bit of warmth. Tanfu's eyes were fixed on the candle, watching the body of the wax getting shorter little by little. The wax body dripped slowly from the candlestick, and instantly condensed into a block when it left the candle flame.

When the last bit of candlelight burned to the root, the dim yellow candlelight in the house had already dimmed a lot. Tanfu heard a "squeak", and the door on the east side of the corridor was pushed open. Suzuki opened his eyes and fell into the darkness.

Candles lit up in the house opposite, and went out after a while.Tanfu coughed twice, turned over, and closed his eyes.

--------

On the second day, Tan Yu came to Tan Fu's door early, knocked on the door and said softly, "Brother, are you awake?"

Hearing the movement outside the door, Tan Fu lazily opened his eyes, leaned up from the flat bed, then cleared his throat and said, "The door is unlocked, come in."

I saw Tan Yu pushing open the door, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, "I boiled this early in the morning, it can relieve cough, brother, drink it." Tan Yu said and handed the bowl in front of Tan Fu.

Tan Fu took the bowl and downed it in one gulp, then couldn't help coughing twice, and hurriedly handed the empty bowl to Tan Yu.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Tan Yu put the bowl on the table beside him and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Tan Fu straightened his upper body, took the clothes on the bed and put them on his body, "Woke up so early, have you eaten yet?"

"I just asked Zhou Fu to heat up some porridge, and I'll bring it to the house later. I'll eat some with you."

Tan Fu nodded, "How long will you stay this time?"

"I plan to stay longer this time." Tan Yu said, holding a pill between his fingers and delivered it to Tan Fu's mouth, "Hold it, don't swallow it, moisten your throat."

Just as Tan Fu opened his mouth to take the pill in Tan Yu's hand, Tan Yu hadn't moved his hand away from Tan Fu's mouth when he heard a voice from the door: "Third brother?"

Tan Yu turned around, while Tan Heng's eyes were fixed on the hand that was placed next to Tan Fu's mouth.

"Heng'er, are you up?" Tan Fu unconsciously sat up straight, and moved his body slightly away from Tan Yu.

Tan Yu got up and walked in front of Tan Heng, his eyes lingered on the tall Tan Heng in front of him, after a long time, he held Tan Heng's arm tightly, looked at Tan Fu and said, "This is Heng'er?"

Tanfu coughed twice and nodded.

"How could it be?" Tan Yu raised his hand so that he couldn't understand why Heng Er, who was only 14 years old, became so tall and burly in a short period of time.

"The master gave me the medicine to grow my body." Tan Heng said calmly.

"What are you doing at the door? Come in and talk." Tan Fu said to the two dazed people at the door.

Tan Yu walked behind Tan Heng and closed the door heavily.

From the moment Tan Heng entered the house, his eyes never left Tan Fu who was half lying on the bed.

At this time, Tan Fu seemed to avoid Tan Heng's gaze unintentionally, lowered his head and coughed slightly.Tan Fu himself also found it strange. Since Tan Heng came back, every time he looked directly at Shang Tan Heng, he felt that the atmosphere in the inner palace was a little disordered, and he couldn't explain what it was.

Since Tan Heng disappeared, Tan Fu has been thinking about Tan Heng day and night. After finally waiting for Heng Er to come back, he did not let go of his longing heart. I just came back, I asked Heng'er a few times and hesitated to tell him the truth, Tan Fu felt that Heng'er was like a kite with a broken string, getting farther and farther away from him, and if he was not paying attention, he would fly away from him Sight.

……

Hearing the cough, Tan Heng frowned slightly.

"In the past few months since I left, I don't even know what happened so many things at home." Tan Yu closed the door and said with a sigh.

"You'll get used to it after watching it for a long time." Tan Fu said, raising his eyes to look at Tan Heng who was standing straight beside his bed without saying a word.

"Why did Heng'er change?" Tan Yu said and went to pull Tan Heng.

Tan Heng just stood there blankly, without any expression to Tan Yu's concerned eyes.

Tan Fu felt that Heng'er had changed not only in appearance but also in temperament when he came back this time. He became less talkative, and even when he spoke, his attitude was cold every time he opened his mouth.

At this time, Zhou Fu opened the door with porridge and walked in. Seeing Tan Heng was there, he hurriedly said, "Yo~ the fourth young master is here too? If I had known about this slave, I would have prepared an extra bowl of porridge. Fourth young master, wait a moment, this slave I'll go to the kitchen and get you a bowl." Zhou Fu said, put the porridge on the table, turned around and walked quickly outside the house.

When Tan Heng saw the two bowls of porridge on the table, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.
